Re: Washing reels
Lets look at this in a diffrent way. We've all been out when its blowing & it's snotty we're all in the cabin and the poles & reels are out there getting drowned by spray & waves coming over the bow and you think that your living a sceen from deadlist catch. I think there is a lot more salt water getting into the reels this way than than by washing them. Fresh water would help at the very least dilute the salty water in the reels making it less corrosive. That is why I wash my poles & reels after every trip with liquid laundry detergent/water mix & risne with fresh water.
I do my own maintaince & repairs and have only had to replace 1 bearing in a spinning reel in 10 years. For you guys that take your poles & reels in the shower with you, I would perfer a young blond & my wife to be out of town at the time. LOL |

Re: Washing reels
Just redid all my reels with greased carbontex drag washers, new spool bearings with TSI 301, etc. I followed directions of Alan Tani and put a light coating of Cal's grease on the interior surfaces to help resist corrosion. I'll see what happens and report back. Over and out.

There was a lot of build-up inside my Avets, they may need to be broken down twice a season. Greased the hell out of them, we'll see what they look like next time I have yo open them. Last edited by Netkeeper Sportfishing; 05-11-2012 at 08:37 AM.. |

Re: Washing reels
I do not think a light spray of fresh water is going to hurt a reel only help. As far as leaving them out on a snotty day with a steady spray hitting them for the ride in will. I taken to many reels apart that have been loaded with salt from the constant beating of a salt spray. If it's nasty out try to get them out of the spray

Re: Washing reels
Take them in the shower but unless you are using circle hooks you have to be careful!
